Lo que olía a una misión pesada se ha acabado transformando en una exhibición. El Barça ha destrozado el planteamiento del Granada con una exhibición atacante y un amplio despliegue defensivo. Neymar, con un triplete, ha sido su punta de lanza, mientras que Messi, brillante, ha sido quien ha hundido el muro justo antes del descanso. Hasta media docena de goles cantaría el Camp Nou mientras Bravo guardaba el candado. El equipo sigue imbatido en seis jornadas.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Lionel Messi scored his 400th and 401st goals for club and country and Neymar hit a hat trick as Barcelona thrashed Granada 6-0 in the Spanish league on Saturday.

Messi’s 358th goal for Barcelona (along with 42 for Argentina) came with Barcelona leading 3-0 when he headed in Dani Alves’ superb one-touch cross in the 56th minute.

He added No. 359 near the end to cap the lopsided win.

Neymar opened the scoring in the 25th before Messi continued his playmaking by participating in his fellow striker’s next two goals and assisting Ivan Rakitic.

The win gave Barcelona the provisional league lead. Valencia can match it on points with a win at Real Sociedad on Sunday.
